Ban on these projects

A team of experts has started an investigation in Joshimath to find out why cracks are appearing at various places. Along with NTPC's power project, the work on the tunnel under Joshimath has also been stopped and orders have been given to investigate NTPC's tunnel as well. Apart from this, the Joshimath-Oli ropeway has also been closed for the time being and movement of people at certain places has also been banned.

There is no limit to the pain of the people of Joshimath. They are not at all responsible for these cracks and they have not done any such work, due to which cracks have appeared in their house, shop and surrounding areas. A tunnel is being built in Joshimath and NTPC is making it. It is 12 km long and starts from Tapovan, about 15 km from Joshimath. It is to be built up to Shelong village near Joshimath, more than half of its work has been completed and the rest of the work was going on, but the work has been stopped after the information about the cracks.

This tunnel is part of the Vishnugarh Hydroelectric Project, which is built on the Dhauli Ganga River. You will remember that on February 7, 2021, there was a natural disaster in Raini village near this place in Uttarakhand, in which more than 100 people died. At that time, in this tunnel of NTPC, a lot of water had entered along with the debris during the disaster. Now the people of Joshimath are blaming this tunnel and other work being done in the mountains here for the cracks in their houses.
